How do I Batch Rename to add a Prefix?

[Bob Bobbington]

Hi there!

I have a ton of files in a folder that I would like to add on the prefix "Machine_".

For example:

Old: 482_PartyBus

New: "Machine_482_PartyBus"

I don't see a way of doing it in Bridge. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Just use a text field then the filename field in the batch rename:

There is no Add Prefix otion in Bridge 2023, so how do we add a prefix to the original filename now, please?

Add Prefix- in the above replies was just example text, not an option. You use the Text input and enter you prefix, then follow that with the Curretn Filename. It looks like you have it set up right, you just have to enter your prefix in the top text box
